Right away, pickup: the swaybars, the 3racing spring set, and the aluminum steering upgrade. The rest of the aluminum upgrades are not immediately necessary.
RC MART will become your best friend for this kit. $99 for the car, $100 for all the spare parts. For $200, the Sakuras are the best bang for the buck. It's too bad these kits can't be purchased locally in Canada. I wouldn't mind paying a little more for this kit, if I could walk to my LHS and get it in my hands today.
Not sure where you are but Lou's speedway in Dorchester has them for $155 and a wall full of parts. You also get a free nights practice and a free night of racing with the purchase.
